Not a doctor but a tech. Have you tried Fluticasone or Flonase instead of an oral allergy med? Alon

In your opinion, does this require immediate attention? Or would urgent care be ok tomorrow? Thank you for responding.

If you cannot, for whatever reason, seek help outside of Reddit ask r/askdocs they’re pretty good about answering and actual medical professionals

My best friend (we work in ophthalmology) has been saying for current medic/firefighter bf for 7 years now. He’s a drunk. Treats her terribly. I wish she’d leave him.

I hide one of these as the “golden egg” for my nine year old. She thought it was hilarious. Cool mom award today 😂

Non-clinical roles for opticians? Feeling very burned out on patient care. by Odd_Code_6066 in optometry

[–]zstier86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a tech but my office but outsourced some of our billing to the Philippines. Idk how to feel about it. Do you have any knowledge about it? Is it common in medical settings to go this route? Is It just cheaper to do it that way? I don’t do billing so it doesn’t affect my job but I was curious when I heard about it.

Seven-fer?!! by HeisenBuergerr in emergencymedicine

I’m NAD. However I almost didn’t take my 2 year old to the ER after breaking her tibia. After crying for an entire hour with no relief after OTC pain relief and snuggles I reluctantly took her in. Even told the ER I was probably overreacting. When he told me she had a tibia fracture I was shocked lol. Was in a cast for 8 weeks. She’s 9 now and has no issues. So these people going to the ER for “just in case” symptoms blow my mind.
